Do not accept any explanation of the world either through chance or determinism. You are not responsible for your belief. It is not even you who decides that you are not responsible - and so on to infinity. You are not obliged to believe. There is no point of departure.

Everything that is visible hides something that is invisible.

I detest my past, and anyone else's. I detest resignation, patience, professional heroism and obligatory beautiful feelings. I also detest the decorative arts, folklore, advertising, voices making announcements, aerodynamism, boy scouts, the smell of moth balls, events of the moment, and drunken people.

If one looks at a thing with the intention of trying to discover what it means, one ends up no longer seeing the thing itself, but of thinking of the question that is raised.

My painting is visible images that conceal nothing... they evoke mystery. Mystery means nothing. It is unknowable.

People who look for symbolic meaning fail to grasp the inherent poetry and mystery of the images.

I need to see the original paintings just as little as I have to read the original manuscripts of books.
